Question

The ratio of x to y is 2:3. If x equals 6, then find the value of y.

• A. 7
• B. 9
• C. 3
• D. 5

Answer 1

The correct option is B

9

Given,
x:y = 2:3
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{x}{y}=\frac{2}{3}$

Here, putting the value x = 6
$\Rightarrow$ $\frac{6}{y}=\frac{2}{3}$
$\Rightarrow$ $2y=18$
$\Rightarrow$ $y=9$
